Help me decide!

I have a 2SS IOM with no stripes. Lately I've been really considering getting ralley stripes painted on. I just went through the entire IOM thread. My issue is which colour to go with! It's a toss up between gloss pearl white or gloss black. Either way Im getting the stripes extended to the bumper ánd over the spoiler in the rear. Or should I just leave it with no stripes? I know its comes down to my choice but this is a big deal for me because once they are on, they're on for good. So I would like to hear what you all think and help me out!

Thanks!

Yikes! That is a tough decision!!! What color is your interior? What other things have you done or plan on doing with your car as far as cosmetics goes? Blacking out the lights or anything like that?

Why not do a "trial run" with the Chevrolet Accessories stripes? Not exactly the same as what you would be painting, but would give you a good idea of how it looks for not too much $, and is easy to remove.

I would do white stripes and have your inner door/dash inserts done in white to match.

I was really considering doing this. My dealer is not very competitve on pricing though. I might take it to vinyl shop and see what they say.

If you are going to go through the expense I would do something unique. Most of the stock Camaros running around have stripes.

I've always been big on white stripes, but gloss black stripes would look great on IOM.

Hey Outlaw77, here's another option to consider. I decided to do something unique but also was a little concerned I might not like the results. So instead of paint (no turning back) or vinyl (not as durable and good looking) I found the material from FLXPaint.com. It is applied like a vinyl but is top quality automotive paint with clear coat. The stuff looks awesome and can be done by you or a shop that does clear bra installations. You buy standard sized rolls and then cut it to fit, so you can do any custom look you want.

Here's my car. The cyber grey is the factory paint. The pearl white and kandy orange colors are the FLXPaint.
